This showed beautifully this night. Decanted 6 hours and was ready to go. COnsistent with my last note but showcased a wonderful richness that exceeded my last time tasting!

PNP. Inky black/purple color. Cassis, blackberry compote and vanilla on the nose. Plush texture, blackberry fruit, medium acid, sneaky tannins that finish quite dry. Big but balanced.

Very deep purple. Deep and luscious but with notable freshness, this leaps from the glass with aromas of fresh blackberry, fresh black raspberry, crème de framboise, violets, hot loamy earth and toast. Very full bodied, this coats every inch of the palate, but the acidity provides balance, the tannins are ripe and while fruit-driven, repeating notes of violets keep this interesting. This is massive but approachable.

Double decanted and left alone for a day and just glorious. Was still hot and unsettled on opening.

Decanted for about two hours - smooth as velvet. Nice dark fruit, oak certainly discernable but not overwhelming. A crowd pleaser as always.
